Apr 18, 2007 Bomber via trade with Jah Noth (Thanks!). 2005 bottle: Aroma of dark chocolate, toffee rich, definitely can smell the vanilla and the oak in this brew. Pours a opaque black with a tan creamy head that lingers and doesn’t go away. Taste is A definate big chocolate and malt notes, roasted coffee, a whiskey bite, toffee, and a some hops to it. Palate is creamy, tingles on the tongue slightly, and aftertaste of bitter-sweet chocolate. Overall, Very good but not an awesome Imperial Stout.

Apr 17, 2007 Vanilla and chocolate on the nose with hints of coffee, and bitterness. Pours black with a thin tan head. Smooth, milk shake-like, creamy vanilla, coffee (cafe au lait), notes of bittersweet chocolate, a nice notable oakiness, with very light hints at the whiskey. Overall extremely smooth. Very nice.

Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Jan 10, 2008Re-rate...Brownish black pour with a big creamy/frothy dark tan head. Lots of mocha like milk chocolate and oaky vanilla in the aroma, with a sweet lactic note. Flavor is much sweeter than expected. Lots of bitter chocolate, vanilla, some oaky notes, and a fairly strong note of whiskey and vodka like alcohol towards the finish. Palate is medium/full, a bit creamy, but dry and boozy. Overall fairly complex, but a bit thin, and a tad unbalanced.

Mar 31, 2007 Pours out an oily, chocolaty color with an aroma of distinctive malts, chocolates, and whiskey. Flavor is full bodied, a clean Imperial Stout. Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate resonate through this wonderful beer. Another great brew from our friends in PA.

Mar 23, 2007 Pours black as night with a big brown head.Aroma is bourbon, chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is more roasty than the nose. Alcohol is a little more present than in some of the Imperial stouts with higher ABV. A very good beer, with a nice roasted aftertaste.
